i guess i wondered was the romney campaign happy with christie's remarks last night? we saw -- we can play a little of the visual of mitt romney looking i will say uncomfortable, if not pained, during certain parts of christie's speech last night. what is the readout from where you are? >> well, of course the romney campaign did go through most of these speeches. they were perfectly aware of what all these folks were going to get up and say. you have to remember while this is mitt romney's convention, it is also the republican party's convention and the party as a whole has an interest in looking ahead and making sure they're setting up who they see as their rising stars to do well in future years. as one of our panelists was saying earlier, this was the time for christie to sort of set himself up for 2016, which was really unfortunate for him was having to follow ann romney. the whole hall was wrapped up in this personal story, thinking about mitt, their candidate and to have christie take the stage and start making references to the jersey shore was a little bit jar
